Not big numbers worldwide, but the Cube only sold 160k here in its lifetime. Not bad for 3 weeks Quote: Australia, Melbourne, Jan. 15th, 2007 - In the critical December retail period, the Nintendo DSâ„¢ Lite confirmed its #1 position in Australia, trouncing all competitors in both the handheld and home console market.

This creative and innovative drive came to a climax on December 7th when Nintendo reshaped the home entertainment and video game landscape with the launch of its heralded Wiiâ„¢ home video game console.

Demand quickly outstripped supply and although new stock shipments are constantly arriving, the Wii remains a very ‘hot’ item with Nintendo managing to sell over 50,000* units in just 3 weeks of December. “We promised innovation and creative thinking.
